Pursue Your Passion Tour

We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to host the Government of Canada's Pursue Your Passion tour here at St. Patrick's High School.This event is a fun, engaging, interactive student-based activity that will take place on January 22, 2019, for our grade 8 classes. Students will be able to explore future passions as well as learn about the health impacts of cannabis use.

It has been identified that regular cannabis use, especially in youth and young adults, can impact brain functioning, which could make it harder for young people to achieve their goals. By encouraging participation in engaging experiences that tap into sport, art, and the virtual world we hope to spark afuture passion and educate about the facts of cannabis use.

Our interactive experiences will encourage students to understand the value of thinking, planning, movement, coordination, decision-making, and emotions and how these could be affected through the use of cannabis.
